The 18th season of the Indian Premier League is going to be very special as this season is being held after the biggest mega auction so far. This mega auction has completely changed the picture of the league. Especially the high price received by some players has broken all the old records. But at the same time, this season is also special for some such players, which were part of a franchise for a long time, but this time their team changed and now they have become enemies for their own old friends. Let us tell you about 4 such players.
Team India's star wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant made his debut in the IPL in 2016 and he was part of Delhi Capitals since his first season. Also, he was also the captain of the team in the last 3-4 season. But after playing for this team for 8 seasons, this time both of them separated. Delhi released Pant and then Lucknow Super Giants bought him for 27 crores in the mega auction. Now Pant will attack Delhi by becoming the captain of Lucknow.
Like Pant, Team India's star fast bowler Mohammad Siraj is also separated from him after spending a long time in the same team. Siraj was part of the Royal Challengers Bangalore since 2018 and also became the second most successful fast bowler in the team's history. But after 7 seasons, RCB released them and now Gujarat Titans bought him for 12.25 crores.
The journey of Indian fast bowler Deepak Chahar, who played an important role in winning the title in the last few years, has also ended with the franchise. Chahar was part of CSK since 2018. Even in the mega auction of 2022, Chennai also spent 14 crore on him but CSK released him after a continuous injury and falling form. After staying with CSK for seven seasons, now he will play for Chennai's staunch enemy Mumbai Indians, who bought him for 9.25 crores
Like Chennai, Mumbai Indians also took a big decision and released their star wicketkeeper-officer Ishaan Kishan. Ishaan played a big role in Mumbai's last two titles. Ishaan was also a part of Mumbai since 2018 and was one of the most successful batsmen of the team but at one time Mumbai released 15 crores and now SRH has bought him for a hefty amount of 11.25 crores.
